=Technology and adaptations=

What did the Celt workers do? They made tons of stuff like weapons, and lots of great inventions.  Things that they made are...    Soap, Irish linen, Scottish plaids, Irish jigs, Scottish reels, Welsh dragons, the fiddle, the bagpipe, the Celtic harp, and many wonderful folk and fairy tales. Celtic armies were given many chariots so they would make 2 horses to pull the cart, 1 driver, and 1 warrior. The warrior was there to make as much noise as possible before the battle to raise awareness to their opponents. Of course people made it. The Celts used wattle and daub to make the walls of their round houses. Daub was made of clay, straw,and animal dung! It was pretty dark in the round houses since the only light came in from the door way so they usually put a fire in the middle of the round house. The fireplace they also used for cooking. The weapons the Celts used are sword,spear,clubs, and bow and arrow as well as shields, these are types for weapons that they made. Before the wars they usually blew into trumpet that made a great amount of sound so it scared the enemy this trumpet was called a carnyx. Other types of weapons were sax which was a knife like weapon used to stab their enemies, A javelin which they threw used like a spear but they throw it instead and it smaller, A Gaeseum which could be used for close combat or throwing, and last but not least the sling it was used to fire rock at the opponent it was hard to used but when mastered it was one of the most deadliest weapons in the Celt Arsenal.

It was not that useful to find other stuff like clothing and housing. It was just like what they made. This site was made by Philip Martin. http://celts.mrdonn.org/inventions.html

Bedrick, Peter. __Myths and Civilization of the Celts__. New York: Peter Bedrick. This was a pretty good book. It told me some info about their myths and civilization. It also told me about some inventions but rarely any about shelter and food, but this is a good book if you need to know about their myths and civilization. It got me to know more about the Celts and what kind of things they do.

"Celtic Artifacts-Wood." __[|Celtic Artifacts-Wood]__. 27 Nov. 2008. 27 Nov. 2008 . I found this website is really good to find information on the tools they used. I don't like how it doesn't have any other information on houses, clothes, and food. To me it is really helpful because I am doing technology.
